Information and Precautions
Notice Concerning Prohibition of Copying or Reproduction
Note that simply being in possession of material that was digitally copied or reproduced by means
of a scanner, digital camera or other device may be punishable by law.
• Items prohibited by law from being copied or reproduced

resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s
responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data
using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images
containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any
pictures selected for the welcome screen (A 135). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage
to property when physically destroying data storage devices.

D Vibration Reduction
Vibration reduction (A 142) in the setup menu (A 133), when On (default setting) is selected,
can be applied to effectively reduce blur, caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake,
that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds.
Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
To reduce the effects of camera shake when recording movies, enable Electronic VR (A 90) from
the movie menu (A 88).

Step 2 Frame a Picture
999
1 Ready the camera.
Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your
fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash and
self-timer lamp.
When taking pictures in “tall” orientation, turn the camera
so that the built-in flash is above the lens.
Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode
2 Frame the picture.
When the camera recognizes a face, a yellow
double border (focus area) will be displayed
around that face.
When the camera detects more than one face, a
double border will be displayed around the face
closest to the camera, and single borders around
the others.
When shooting pictures of subjects other than people, or framing a subject with which
no face is recognized, the camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera when the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area at which
focus has been acquired will be displayed.
Touch AF/AE
Tap a subject in the monitor to select the focus
area at which the camera should focus and set
the exposure.
• u or a double border will be displayed at
the position tapped.
• To disable the focus area applied using the
touch AF/AE function, tap h.
• If a position at which focus cannot be
acquired is tapped, X will be displayed in
the monitor. Tap another position within X.

Using the Zoom
Tap e or f to activate optical zoom.
Tap e to zoom in so that the subject

zoom out, increasing the area visible in
the frame.
A zoom indicator is displayed when e
or f is tapped.
Digital Zoom
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, touching
and holding e triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4× the
maximum optical zoom ratio.
The focus area is not displayed when digital zoom is in effect, and focus will be in
the center of the screen.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as
interpolation to magnify images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture
quality.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond E. When zoom is
increased beyond the E position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom
indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied. The
position of E moves to the top as image size decreases, allowing for
confirmation of the zoom positions at which shooting without
interpolation is possible at the current image mode setting (A 116).
Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option (A 143) in
the setup menu (A 133).

B During Recording
While pictures are being recorded, the number of exposures remaining will blink. Do not open the
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while pictures are being recorded. Cutting power or
removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the
camera or card.
B Autofocus
Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject
may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is behind the subject
and is in deep shadow)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is standing in front of a
white wall, wearing a white shirt)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several
times, or focus on another subject and use focus lock (A 125). When using focus lock, be sure that
the distance between the camera and the subject with which focus was locked is the same as that
for the actual subject.
C Blink Warning
If the blink warning screen is displayed shortly after a
picture is taken in face priority mode, the eyes of human
subjects may have been closed when the picture was
taken. Check the picture and decide whether or not
another picture should be taken.
• The portrait subject, whose eyes may have been closed
when the picture was taken, will be framed by a yellow
border in the blink warning screen.
• Tap the picture currently displayed, or press the shutter-release button, to return to shooting
mode.
See “Blink Warning” (A 146) or “Operating the Blink Warning Screen” (A 147) for more
information.

• Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of
camera shake. Set Vibration reduction (A 142) in the setup menu (A 133) to Off when using a
tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.
• The E indicator is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken
when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.

C Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). The flash fires repeatedly at
low intensity before the main flash, reducing red-eye. The camera then analyzes the picture; if redeye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before the picture is
saved. Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and
the picture being shot, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required.
The time before the next picture can be shot also increases slightly. Advanced red-eye reduction
may not produce the desired results in all situations. In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to
red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another
mode and try again.
